Star of Renfield NicolasCage warns that his Dracula doesn't have much screen time in the spin-off film.
Fans are looking forward to checking out the horror-comedy Renfield for many reasons, one of which being the opportunity to see iconic actor Nicolas Cage bringing the legendary Dracula to life, though the actor himself has warned audiences that they shouldn't expect his villain to be the focal point of the experience.
"Well, first of all, I don't know how you say no to Dracula, but two things come to mind," Cage shared with Collider of what audiences can expect from the film."One, he's a character that's been done well many times and then been done poorly many times. So you want to be on the side of doing something well. And also you want to be on the side of doing something fresh and something that pops.
He continued,"To me, because the movie's really not about me, Dracula rather, I don't have a lot of screen time. It's really Nick Hoult's movie, and it's about Renfield. I didn't have the time, like the two-hour narrative to really dig deep into Dracula's pathos per se. It's not that.
In this modern monster tale of Dracula's loyal servant, Nicholas Hoult stars as Renfield, the tortured aide to history's most narcissistic boss, Dracula . Renfield is forced to procure his master's prey and do his every bidding, no matter how debased. But now, after centuries of servitude, Renfield is ready to see if there's a life outside the shadow of The Prince of Darkness. If only he can figure out how to end his codependency.
Renfield is directed by Chris McKay from a screenplay by Ryan Ridley , based on an original idea by The Walking Dead and Invincible creator Robert Kirkman.Renfield is produced by Skybound Entertainment partners Robert Kirkman and David Alpert , co-presidents Bryan Furst and Sean Furst , and by Chris McKay. McKay's producing partner Samantha Nisenboim will executive produce.
